I recommend you Nvidia users look at this thread. It is very useful and gives excellent descriptions of the various settings. It looks as if it is all about SLI setup for multiple cards but bear with it and read on, it isn't very long. Cheerzen Sid

OMG - that's a better selection than my local model shop! Nice pics, btw.

That will be 'IL2 Stab', found at Mission4Today here http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads&file=details&id=2169

Great find SP...I'm going to include it in my Hazardous Materials training package at work. I will use it the day before I finish as I doubt I will have a job soon afterwards.... Cheerzen Sid

Ta ta old monitor, Hi new one!

Thanks Dave, plenty of scope for browsing there. Oh, and thanks Rog, good idea to start a section for modellers......

The small paint reservoir cylinder that clips onto the side flew off! I connected the air can to the airbrush and turned it on. I had a little spit of paint through the vent hole on the cylinder lid, then when I pushed the airbrush lever to start spraying the lid popped off, the force popping off the reservoir and sending it somewhere behind the chest freezer...where it can stay!

I gave up with the airbrush when it 'popped' and spread paint over utility room roof - all hand brushed now! More when finished.

I think we ought to have a modeller's area - hints and tips and to show off stuff, watcha think? This is a thread on a 1/48 scale 'Trumpeter' (as opposed to Airfix or Revell) MiG3. I haven't built a plane for years but still have some gear and the paint collection. Anyway, I have restarted this hobby and wanted to build something to try out a few techniques. I should have taken more photos but maybe next time. It's built 'out of the box' apart from adding a pilot figure and some finer exhausts. This is the cockpit under construction A few more bits added and the aircraft is taking shape Still a WIP, but now with paint and markings applied and awaiting a weathering wash, exhaust heat and smoke marks and varnishing, matt (flat) finish on the wooden areas ie, rear fuselage and wings and a satin on the metal areas. I intend putting it on a stand as if flying. The markings and scheme are fictional but hey, it's my MiG...... I'll put some more up when done. Cheerzen

The fact that the Dogz fly in the evening in the UK makes it possible for me as I would find it difficult to justify the time in the day. I will always try to get on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sunday - Sunday is set in stone, the others when work allows. I like the 'Zoo' evenings on Saturday but social stuff usual blocks that. I could fly every night if I wanted but, this is a hobby and is only one aspect of my life. Generally works out at about 12 - 15 hours per week if I sneak some offline stuff on off duty days too.

Good read m8, thanks. By all acounts all three were lucky to get out successfully from a Gannet, and the 2 crew with broken arms appear to have escaped more serious injury being caused by the stabilisers. I wonder if current aircrew are told to avoid visiting pubs following trauma, just in case it affects medical treatment lol. It is a very distinctive aircraft isn't it. Functional, limited effort for looks due to being built around the engines? perhaps

Cheers Snack, that made me laugh out loud......'old' geezers have a wicked sense of humour and have no inhibitions when it comes to displaying it!

And when they return it will be as if nothing happened............

Superb.....the skill and timing is fantastic. I love the rifle drill without music, just the sound of the rifles being slapped and cracked on the ground. Immaculate. Thanks m8.

Stunning views, cheers for sharing. Historic doesn't seem the right word to describe the sites....can't think of an appropriate one though.

Shell leaving a naval gun, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldne ... annon.html Camera caught the shot precisely - I love this sort of stuff.

The anomoly is probably because the recording is a 'trk', not an 'ntrak'. 'trk' recordings saved after the flight are notorious for not reproducing the original flight whereas 'ntrk' recordings are generally faithful to the original.

That is impressive!! Wonder what speed wind they are heading into?

Can't 'lol' because you're right...... Nice one

By no means ugly in any sense of the word, but 2 pictures show 2 sides of the Hunter First, mean and functional Second, sleek and very pretty

Some shots of the Mosquito run during BGs hosting last night...Sid, Smash, Arthur and Jabo. Great fun

Watch yerself with the update that Windows asks you if you want to download Perf. It will probably be the latest version of the Saitek drivers/software - my computer has done the same. I don't know whether you can install over the top of an existing Saitek installation, you may have to uninstall first. A case of, if it ain't broke......perhaps.

Happy birthday mate. Have a good 'un

Loved it
